I have a toe brush too. Mine is a baby bottle nipple brush. I use it for between my toes, especially if I ran through a bunch of mud.
Hmmm, I don't have this problem with my Irish Spring bar soap... Maybe it's the type of soap or maybe just genetics I guess.My dilemma is that frequent scrubbing with soap removes the natural oils and dries out the skin, causing rough skin which becomes even harder to clean.
That sounds a bit like: you don't like your new carpets to become greasy but you don't mind them to become dirty from your not so worried about bottoms of your feet.The problem with putting oils and lotions on my feet is that I walk around the house bare feet and the oils/lotions would end up on our new carpets.
Like Mike, I don't worry about the bottoms of my feet. I only wash the bottoms enough to remove loose dirt.
Hipster would be far worse I think. I dont use soap either, accept on rare occasion. for deoderant theres an awesome product called a thai stone, just gotta make sure and use it before you get smelly.i don't use soap. yeah, i've become a grubby hippie. could be worse like a hippster or yuppie.
I find that finishing my run a an abrasive sidewalk...even if its a short walk really cleans them up...then washing becomes that much easier.
I cut my grass barefoot yesterday...I usually wear shoes when cutting the grass so this a new thing and I couldn't get all the grass stains off my feet.
My wife did this when I cut the grass barefoot the first time:I love cutting the lawn barefoot, actually doing all yard work barefoot. Only thing I haven't tried yet it running the chainsaw barefoot.........
I always figured that if I lived by the ocean, a nice run in wet beach sand would get your feet really clean, but since I live in upstate NY, I'll have to settle for snow.
